Of course there is Murphy's Law, which then dictated that that Virtual Sailplane Grand Prix world champion (Ben Fest), who won one of our simulators, likes to mostly fly a Ventus 3 on Condor - which has 8 flap positions. When we started out, we were looking at the 80/20 rule, and determined most of the performance flapped gliders out there had either 6 or 7 flap positions - so we designed around that. We are playing with that idea now - but again, technically not a high bar for us, just need to see if some demand there.

What we are going to do (quite soon) is just write an app that we'll sell on the site (for very reasonable price) that will allow you to simply buy a run of the mill Logitech flight stick (these are like under $50 USD), install our app, and then plug in a standard flight stick that usually has loads of buttons on it as well - and those buttons can be assigned to do all sorts of things in Condor (air brakes, flaps, tow release, you name it.) In theory, wouldn't be hard to have two full sim rigs connected to simulate tandem cross country or giving the CFI a full set of controls. And yes -they can release from tow, or whatever. Flip it around for a moment and think how cool to have CFI's that can practice on the ground, what taking over flight controls looks and feels like. We often think of an extra set of controls or some command buttons for the instructor as a great thing for students. We have full assembly instructions up on the website (bottom of home page, "documents" link) which shows you what you are in for. That last thing we want is to spend a bunch of money shipping you something only to have you find out later you don't like building it or it is "too complicated". But you do have to gird yourself for some assembly work and the time needed. It's of course faster / easier with two people, but can totally be done by one person. So with all that said, FOUR TO SIX HOURS is a fair range when it comes to building the thing out. If you look at this like a DIY project and enjoy building things - you'll love it. So if you just hate building things and can't be bothered, this isn't the product for you. It's like a piece of Ikea furniture with a lot of parts basically. We've done a good job of making clear step by step Lego type instructions - but you the consumer / user still have to pay attention to the details and grind through the assembly. If you miss inserting a locking nut or something here or there, you have to burn time to unassemble back through several steps to put it back in.

Building 80/20 aluminum rigs like this do require attention to detail and patience. Results vary quite a bit mainly just depending on how "handy" and "engineery" the user is.
